Payments and financial services technology provider Fiserv has announced the Australian launch of the world’s “smartest” point-of-sale system and software platform, Clover.
Designed for the hospitality, service, and retail sectors, the Clover platform aims to improve management, increase operational efficiency, and enhance the customer experience.
Gavin Jones, Country Manager of Fiserv Australia, says Clover will power the country’s small-to-medium businesses, by offering an all-in-one solution that streamlines operations, enhances efficiency and helps business grow.
“Australia’s small businesses, particularly those in the retail and hospitality sectors, are vital to the economy,” he said.
“Ninety-eight per cent of Aussie businesses identify as small-to-medium businesses but many rely on a complex array of solutions that don’t integrate with each other and are supported in a fragmented way. Small businesses work incredibly hard to get ahead in the market and Clover provides advanced technology backed by support teams that are dedicated to helping businesses grow.”
Clover combines proprietary hardware and purpose-built software to create an all-in-one platform that replaces fragmented payment terminals, POS systems and non-integrated surround services.
It has powerful proprietary software and also tightly integrates with specialised solutions that simplify how businesses manage tasks such as online ordering, accounting, inventory management, and employee management.
The Clover Web Dashboard lets store owners track sales for single stores or multiple locations. They can manage customer information for discounts and promotions and monitor staff performance to create reward programs. All reports and tools are safely stored online and available anytime, anywhere.
Four models are currently available in Australia to meet the unique demands of individual merchants: the handheld Clover Flex, the countertop Clover Mini, the larger countertop with dual screens Station Duo and the self-ordering Clover Kiosk.
“With two-thirds of small Australian businesses aiming to scale, there’s a clear opportunity for Clover to support them in adopting technology that enables growth and keeps them competitive in a rapidly evolving market,” said Mr Jones.
With the addition of Australia, Clover is present in 11 countries, powering 3.5 million point-of-sale devices across the globe.
